The 32-bit (Open)Solaris kernel does not support disk drives with a capacity >= 1TB. You should find a message in /var/adm/messages similar to: WARNING: ...: disk has ...... blocks, which is too large for a 32-bit kernel The 64-bit kernel has no such limitation. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
